Please stop the pop-up

Pleeeeeeeeeeease somebody stop those annoying pop-ups. This site has enough share of ad embeded and I do really understand why it needs them, but pop-ups!! Those even pass through FireFox pop-up blocker. Believe me, nobody is going to click on those, you just repel visitors by annoyingly present a pop-up while somebody tries to enter the search box and such...

This is the piece of code in PA pages that brings those pop-ups, and they are getting more and more smart and pass through Firefox too, because they are not normal pop-ups, they are invoked when you click on a link or the search box.

I use Opera browser and it deals with them well too.

I use FireFox 1.5.0.6 and it passes through, it happens only sometimes (time is set through a cookie). I could post a screen shot if there was a way to upload an image. In IE ( i use IE 7 RC1) I had allowed pop-ups from PA because at some point it was needed, don't remember why. Well, I have to remove it from allowed list and make it block all pop-ups. Still don't get it why there should be something like that here, when everyone tries to avoid it.

Errorsafe, anyone? Infesting also YouSendIt. Well, if site is not funded with membership fees or some kind of foundation, one gets ads.

I don't think that these pop-ups are official. I use Internet Explorer and I don't get them. I think it's some kind of spyware that is causing it?

Just use Adblock and your browser won't even execute the script ... which is a damn good thing if the script should contain any exploit for browser bugs!

I am using IE7 and have never had any pop-ups on this site.

This is very strange. I don't get pop-ups and neither do I get the message pop-up blocked. I am using Yahoo toolbar but I think it says if it blocks a pop-up.
